Withdrawal & Refunds

Domestic Students

Refunds are based on the date a Program/Course Registration Change form is received by the Registrar's Office. Seat deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. Complete the Program/Course Registration Change Form according to the following timings apply:

Students are eligible to receive a full refund (less non-refundable deposit amounts) if the withdrawal takes place prior to the course start date.

A 75% tuition fee refund will be issued for course withdrawals that occur within the first 14 calendar days of the course.

A 50% tuition fee refund will be issued for course withdrawals that occur during the 15th to 21st calendar days of the course.

No tuition fee refunds will be granted after the 21st calendar day of the course,

Other student fee refunds will be based on the same refund schedule as above but are based on the number of courses, amount of the tuition fees and/or hours/credits enrolled.

Health and dental fees are non-refundable after the Opt-Out deadline communicated by the Student Union.

Refunds issued for documented medical or compassionate reasons will be reduced by the amount of the non-refundable seat deposit and will not exceed 75% of the assessed tuition and other fee amount. Amounts placed in trust for a student’s return to the College will be 100% of the assessed fee amount. (except for student loan students)

International Students

Refunds are based on the date a written notification of withdrawal is received by Selkirk International or the Registrar's Office. The following timings apply:

International students who withdraw after receiving an official letter of acceptance will be refunded any tuition fees paid, minus the non-refundable tuition deposit.

The non-refundable deposit is equivalent to the first semester tuition, including any upgrading courses.

Students wishing to change their Selkirk College program after arriving in Canada must obtain the written approval of the School Chair or Dean and Registrar to transfer their enrolment and tuition payment to another Selkirk College program. Selkirk College cannot guarantee that program change requests will be accommodated.

Returning Students:

who withdraw 30 calendar days prior to the course start date for any reason after paying tuition are eligible to receive a 50% refund of the semester tuition , upgrading fees and supplementary fees

who withdraw 29 calendar days before the course start date up to 14 calendar days after course start date will be eligible to receive a 25% refund of the semester tuition , upgrading fees and supplementary fees

no refund will be issued after the 15th calendar day of the course

Full refunds, less an administration fee, will be provided to students who do not receive their Canadian study permit. Students must notify Selkirk College in writing and provide documentation prior to the start of the semester (scanned, notarized copy of the original letter from the Canadian Embassy stating the reasons the visa was denied).

International students who wish to defer their application and any fees that have been paid to the next semester must do so in writing prior to the start of the semester. Student Partner Program (SPP) students can defer only one time. After deferral, sections 5.3.1.B (1 through 6) apply.

International students who pay by wire transfer will receive their refund by wire transfer or other mechanism that ensures prompt payment of the refund. The cost of the wire transfer will be deducted from the refund amount.

International students who have their tuition and other fees paid by a sponsor or relative will receive a refund to the same account and/or person from which it was received, unless other directions are received in writing. No further documentation will be required. It is the student’s responsibility to provide the College with adequate information to complete the wire transfer.
